After Ali and Pogba, Mourinho criticized Ndombele

August 18, 2022

Tottenham’s Ndombele is on the verge of joining Serie A’s Napoli in what is seen as a career decline.

Napoli are about to acquire Ndombele for a loan fee of 1 million euros and will pay most of the salary. The team can buy the player for £30m after the loan expires.

Three years ago, the Premier League Tottenham paid a £55 million transfer fee to buy Ndombele and gave the player a personal treatment of £200,000 a week.

However, the player only contributed 10 goals and nine assists in 91 appearances during his three years at Tottenham.

Ndombele’s performance was seriously inconsistent with his worth and personal treatment.

In this case, the British media believe that what the former Tottenham coach Mourinho did to Ndombele was correct.

This is the English media, after Ali and Pogba, once again believe that Mourinho’s strict requirements for players are correct.

In the early days of Mourinho coaching Tottenham, Ndombele did not even have the physical fitness to play the whole game, which is a strange thing among professional players.

In Tottenham’s 2020 match against Burnley, Mourinho replaced Ndombele before half-time.

In this regard, Mourinho criticized Ndombele after the game.

Mourinho said at the time: “We didn’t have a midfielder in the first half. Of course, I’m not talking about Skip, because he’s just a 19-year-old kid who’s been kicking for two hours over the past few days. I wouldn’t criticize him at all. But I’m not going to run away, I have to say to him (Ndombele), he’s totally capable of reaching a different level. I know the Premier League is difficult and some players take a long time to adapt to different leagues. But a player with potential like him has to give more to the team.

Ndombele also performed well under the strict requirements of Mourinho.

At the beginning, when Mourinho was coaching in the Premier League, Mourinho criticized the players and was considered wrong by the British media.

But now, in the face of numerous positive and negative facts, these media believe that Mourinho’s original approach was correct
